I saw them advertised on-line, within hours of turtle-boy's fuckup.

I expect they will be popular attire in upcoming marches and demonstrations.

Rosa Parks deserves to be on any list of American Heroines.
I am an early baby boomer and followed her brave act. I had the pleasure of meeting her and was totally overwhelmed.

You're assuming it's human.Notice the 2 lines coming down from the sides of the mouth.If you poke around you'll find a battery.Notice the monotone voice & the eyes that never close.

If he hadn't stopped Warren, none of this would have happened.
I'm glad he did--he has further galvanized his opposition.

19. I noticed a ridiculous amount of CONCERN TROLLING over this on Faux News yesterday.

Concerned that this incident will draw the Democratic Party to rally behind Elizabeth Warren, which is bad because she's too old, and too out of touch with average Americans and blah, blah, blah...

So, I guess they're more than a little nervous about the way that whole incident played out.

Way to go TURTLEFACE. Using an obscure, Jim Crowe era Senate rule to stop a female Senator from reading a letter from a civil rights icon during Black History Month. MAGNIFICENTLY tone-deaf. Keep up the good work, Mitch. And, now that you're a two-income family again, better start saving for retirement.

You may know of Sophie Scholl, a young student the Nazis executed; attributed to her, it starts

" The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive'. The honest men who just want to be left in peace. "

It resonates.
